About Curriculum Development Committee

With the conferment of autonomous status, NPR College of Engineering and Technology established the Curriculum Development Cell (CDC) in the academic year 2023–24 to strengthen academic planning and curriculum governance. The CDC functions as a central academic body responsible for the systematic design, review, and enhancement of curricula across all undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

The Cell ensures compliance with UGC regulations and AICTE guidelines, while proactively embedding contemporary industry practices, multidisciplinary learning, and skill-oriented education. Through structured curriculum frameworks and outcome-based design, the CDC transforms the institutional vision into effective learning experiences that prepare students for professional excellence and societal contribution.

The CDC operates under the leadership of the Principal as Chairperson, supported by a Coordinator and faculty members from engineering, management, sciences, and humanities, to ensure an inclusive and holistic curriculum development. By continuously updating academic content and pedagogy, the CDC plays a vital role in sustaining academic quality, relevance, and innovation at NPRCET.
